Metareview - Killzone: Liberation

With that Killzone sequel stuck somewhere in the PlayStation 3 pipeline, Sony and Guerilla have opted to keep the franchise alive with a PSP spin-off, releasing this week. Guerilla was not up to the task of proving FPSs could be done well on PSP, so Liberation is brought to us in third-person, which has proved more stable and successful on the platform. But releasing alongside Vice City Stories and a pair of Q Entertainment puzzlers could mean Liberation gets slept on.

Here are some mixed critiques:

IGN (90/100) opines Killzone's got "depth" and "accessibility," making it "one of the best games on [PSP]."

GameDaily (80/100) gives a clear-cut endorsement: "Killzone: Liberation is definitely worth buying."

Game Informer (73/100) applauds Guerilla for "actually trying to do some quality work on the PSP," but warns, "this game will kick your ass" because of awkward controls and difficulty balance.

How do you beat the one boss battle, with the machine gun and spidermines. I've died so many times its not funny

I've only played the demo. It retained the atmosphere of the original Killzone on PS2, which I really like (Bit repetitive, but a good shooter).
Great graphics, and the style is ok, though I'm more of a FPS fan. Anyways, it was enough to convince me to give the full game a go, so I'll definently pick it up

But no company should be scared to try a genre on a system, i.e. First Person Shooters on PSP.

hold l and r and shoot as you normally would when targeting a barrel, it makes it trickier and harder but its the only way you can target any of the different parts,hope that helped and good luck
